Fluid mechanics is concerned with the behaviour of liquids and gases at rest and in motion
The proper understanding of mechanics of fluids is important in many branches of engineering:
in biomechanics the flow of blood is of interest; ocean currents require a knowledge of fluid
mechanics; chemical processing of plants require a thorough knowledge of fluid mechanics;
aeronautical engineers require knowledge of flow of air over the aircraft to reduce drag and
increase lift; mechanical engineers require knowledge of fluid propel1ies to design pumps,
water turbines, gas turbines and rockets; civil engineers require fluid mechanics to study
river currents and erosion; and environmentalists require knowledge of fluid properties for
solving pollution problems of air and water to control flood, irrigation channels, etc.
